Real Madrid's defense was hit by more injury problems Wednesday after learning it will be without Albiol for up to five weeks. Albiol severely sprained his left ankle in Madrid's preseason 1-1 draw at Standard Liege on Tuesday and will be out at least four weeks, the Spanish club said.

Teenage Fiorentina forward Stevan Jovetic scored twice in a 2-0 win over Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday, with the five-time winners from England failing to create a single chance in the first half.
